Yeahhh ive supported discord for about 5 years now with full nitro and if they’re going to show me ads no matter what then I’m canceling right now.

I had hope when they rejected Microsoft’s offer. But they were just waiting for the bigger fish.

Would love an interview from his “best friends” from childhood. I’m sure their recollections would match perfectly

I agree. This was my first thought. Maybe something organically will come about. Sauce?AbandonedSauce? Which would make FoodPorn = FoodSauce. which is amusing

I just came over from Reddit. I stepped back after the API debacle but didn’t switch to Lemmy until this week when they threatened me for upvoting something “violent” (honestly, no idea what it could have been).

Anyway, I want to agree with your sentiment. Remember Reddit before they started messing with the upvotes? Top posts would have 1k-2k upvotes and outstanding insanely popular posts would break like 7k.

On Lemmy, I scan the comments and I easily can see real people talking. I usually have to scan a long time on Reddit to find real people and not bots recycling comments. It makes me wonder how many real humans are commenting over there.

Glad there’s humans here.

Man I’ve supported discord for years too. Fucking sucks. It makes me upset to think about.

It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.

Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.

Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.

I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.
